Williamson and youre watching palestine declassified. Broadcasting twice a week, were the only tv show thats dedicated to investigating and exposing the israeli regimes global war against solidarity with the illegally occupied people of palestine. In todays show, well be covering the growing popularity of kuds day and the frantic efforts of zionist extremists to undermine and sabotage it. Record numbers are expected at this years rallies, because the world has been awoken by the unspeakably horrific atrocities being perpetrated. By the zinest entity in gaza and the occupied west bank. Latif abochakra has been looking at the history of kuds day and the extraordinary efforts by the zinist lobby to close it down. Quds day is celebrated all over the world traditionally on the last friday of ramadan. It is a day of International Solidarity with the Palestinian People named with the arabic word for jerusalem, the capital of palestine. Quds day was introduced in 1979 by ayatullah komeini. Quds day was a response to jerusalem day in which jewish settlers rampage around the quds, which they called jerusalem, chanting racist slogans including may your village burn. The zionist entity heightened attempts to suppress quds day after the ghaza massacre between 2008 to 2009. The worldwide revoltion against the massacre led to a significant rise in support for the palestinians and worldwide protests. Good stay is marked throughout muslim and arabic countries. In over 80 islamic and nonislamic countries in total. In the west, these include the United States of america, canada, australia, germany, spain, the United Kingdom, france, and greece. The muslim unity displayed in quods day is a threat to the zionist entity and its supporters and assets in the west and elsewhere. Accordingly, they mobilized to smear and denounce could stay and to claim that its celebration exhibits extremism and antisemitism. In the uk, zionist groups have been attempting sabotage the celebration for more than 15 years. In the us, zianist entity assets have gone on the offensive. The antiDeformation League denounced the quds day in 2016 as hateful demonstration of antiisrael and antisemitic sentiment. In 2022, it ludicrously labeled calls for the dismantling of zionism as genocidal ambitions. In germany. This ampf sungsh or federal office for the protection of the constitution in english, is the Domestic Intelligence agency. In 2019, it published a deeply racist report on antisemitism in islamist extremism. It specifically singled out could stay and denounced a huge range of Muslim Political groups as extreme. All were labeled with designist created notion of islamic antisemitism. The report openly states that german. Intelligent spies on peaceful and legal muslim activists, so long as theyre defined as islamist, racist term which effectively covers any muslim active in politics. The temporary zionist entity continues its onslaught of ethnic cleansing and murder in ghazah and throughout the region. Complicit western governments continue to try and repress propalestine sentiment, but this year the celebrations of kudstate go ahead in a situation where support for palestine is. A historic high as the result of the genocide in gaza. Joining me in the studio as usual, is our resident expert david miller. David is academic and a former professor at Bristol University and hes now a Senior Research fellow at the center for islam and Global Affairs at estable zeam university. Hes also a codirector of the lobby watch dog spinwatch and hes a leading british scholarly critic of israel. Our guest contributor today is nazim ali who joins us via zoom. In his professional life nazim is a pharmacist but hes also passionate propalestine campaigner and it was his activism that brought him to the attention of the zionist lobby. These extremists subjected him to seven year long malicious hate filled campaign and pressure eye the general. Pharmaceutical council to strike him off. Thankfully, the despicable ploy to destroy nazims career and deprive him of his livelihood was rejected. Welcome to the show. Nazim, uh, whats been your experience of cudsday in the United Kingdom . Hi, chris. Hi, thanks for having me. Um, its been very interesting. I went to the first one in 1988. Its a very inclusive protest that occurs every single year, as latifa said in the. Prequel that on the last friday of every ramadan, we actually have it mainly a sunday in england because of its a weekend, um, probably the safest annual rally ever in the history of the United Kingdom without doubt, i dont have any arrests, if anything the arres happened with the counter protesters, its unique actually, it seems to galvanize the far right, are the bnp etc and designers to come on protest against us to. So its one of the only few um processions um where youll get the country demonstrators uh having a union jack having a zinus flag far right stickers all over them coming together so its helped unite these right really extreme rightwing groups but over the years absolutely peaceful from our side absolutely yeah well so ask me my experience of it mean and ive attended the the could stay demonstration last year and certainly endorse everything youve just said there dim, but david, the the zinanists theyve been trying to suppress the codsday for the 15 years, havent they . They have, they dont like it, and they dont like it because of course its a militant demonstration and it doesnt pull its punches, it says you know this is cool, this is the capital of palestine, its not the capital of israel, and of course theyve been trying uh in the uk, certainly its the case in nazims case especially, but also in in the us where the Deformation League of. Very active, weve talked about that many times in this show before, and also in that case in germany, a truly extraordinary case there where the the German Intelligence Services were actually smearing and labeling pro palestine demonstrators as being somehow uh effectively nazis and uh this is the kind of stuff you get from the designers of course weve seen this in many, many occasions and many episodes of the show, this is what they do, they want to stop any possible expression of support for palestinian rights, well nazim, i mean how does. Could stay then differ would you say from from other pro palestine marches . Mean i think is origin, is origin story, i think is really important, again as a mentioned, it was initiated by the late aitumaini, um, and it differs in the sense that it does come from a real political base, it comes from point of no compromise with the oppressor, it comes from very anticolonial standpoint, and its very strong on that. Its all about freedom and its all about removing the chains of colonialism and oppression, understanding the fact that palestine is the key, so wherever theres a pression going on in the world, wherever theres colonialism still in its various forms existing, if we can unlock the situation of palestine, it will unlock every other puzzle thats going on, thats the uniqueness of of of kuds day, and thats why its so important, and come rain wind or shine cris in england, it it takes place, theres a. If its because its in ramadan, it changes 10 days every year, so we have it when its snowing, we have it when its hailstones, thunderstorms, weve never councelled accepting covid, and then we went online, yeah, no, absolutely, well david, i believe youre speaking at this years, could stay demonstration in london arent you, i mean that kind of demonstrates doesnt the sort of serious politics of of the organizers, wouldnt you agree, well it does, i mean since ive won my case at industrial tribunal, ive not had a single uh invit. Um to speak cancelled, which is unusual before before my uh tribunal uh judgment was released, most meetings that was invited to were canceled or indeed sometimes there were attempts by pro palestine campaigners to cancel my meetings as well, not just designers but also uh people from the Palestine Solidarity Campaign headquarters have tried to stop me from speaking at psc branches, but this is an indication really that the organizers of this demonstration that the serious about the antisianism and and about not compromising the sionism, sionism is a form of racism, its a genocidal ideology, everybody can see that now, and we should have nothing to do with sionism, sionism is something which should be challenged and we should be moving towards an eradication of zionism as a as racist ideology, and not all of the propalestin movement, im afraid to say would endorse such politics, no and we talked in this show havent we about the the need really for designization. A process to basically eradicate this kind of racist ideology from the from the country and indeed from from the world, but whats your assessment of the palestine solidarity . Movement today, mean david just mentioned there that um, previously when hes had speaking engagements hes had objections indeed from uh the uh Palestine Solidarity Campaign, mean whats your thoughts about that today . Yeah, mean look, i think we know theres always been a history, especially in the uk of certain organizations infiltrating other organizations and trying to change the narrative, and as david has just alluded to, its imperative we stick to the antizionist narrative. Um because theres a lot of blowback format format, especially when we are being absolutely determined to take on zionism, it causes a lot of constination of certain people and a bit of fear of the blowback and the potential of consequences, whatever they are that people and organizations feel, and some organizations dont want and i mean this respectfully if i can, dont want to be tired under the same type of. Label as other organizations etc etc. Bit of a cop out if you ask me, i dont think theres any space to compromise when it comes to palestine, when it comes to talking about uh far right ideologies like zisism and weve got to be out there and weve got to put it a plate and serve it. Well david, mean you despite the the 15 Year Long Campaign by the zianis to try and destroy a could stay, mean the actual demonstrations getting bigger. And bigger every single year and as ive said in the introduction, i think were expecting record attendances at the the demonstrations this year. What what do you think that says . Well, it says that the movement for palestine, palestinian liberation is on the march and that its rising, it support for it is rising across the whole world, including in countries like western countries where the governments are supporting the zionist on gaza, but the population is becoming more and more radical in support of the palestinians and could say is is kind of cutting. Edge of that and we see the the increased consciousness that there is in the country and the increasingly increasing inability of the zionists to stop this kind of campaigning and so so so we have the situation where we look at this the other day just in in the show where the government is trying to step in and to to divide the movement by labeling some parts of the Palestine Solidarity Movement as being extremist now of course this will this is going to fail but as an indication of the threat that they face that they feel that and the uh the attendance at the the kudsday demonstrations is is incredibly uh mixed isnt it . Very diverse attendies a big jewish contingent for for example, i believe is that briefly, mean thats true isnt it . Absolutely, absolutely, mean its a very Family Friendly um protest, lot of children come along with their families with their parents and we have a large contingent of jewish people, especially rabbies from neutral car Time Movement as well as um other jews as well be come and jews to come to the procession, in fact its very multi faith and people of no faith attend as well, and even from the speakers list, if you go back historialy, is a big variety from the far left to people who are more sort of religious, coming from a religious perspective and so on and so forth, so yeah, very, very diverse, no, indeed, well, well come back in in a moment nazim to our discussion, um, after our next report about the truly astonishing lengths that the zianist lobby went to in their efforts. To ruin the career of our guest nazim ali. The london pharmacist nazim ali has finally won his longrunning legal battle against zionist regime proxies. It all started in 2017 when nazim ali spoke at the kudsday rally. Zianers complained about his antizianist comments to the police. The Crown Prosecution Service refused to press charges. The signers took a private prosecution that was eventually stopped. By the cps, they took out a judicial review against the cps and lost. In january 2019, alis professional regulator, the general pharmaceutical council, said the fake answer, but warning for being offensive. The ca and bully the regulator inter position in july of that year. The council concluded his words were not semitic in november 2020, but the uk lawyer for israel joined to continue to harass ali in december. 2020, uklfi complained to the body which regulates the regulator, the professional Standards Authority for health and social care or psa. The intimidation worked and the psa took the gpc to court, at which point the gpc folded and offered no defense. The high court then sent the case back to the gpc, which made the absurd determination that two of alis remarks were objectively, if on intentionally antisemitic, however, it gave him a warning as before, the zionists were still not happy and appealed to the court to get ali sacked in march this year, the court declared that there was no case to answer. This is a historic and hard fought victory, but who are the zionist groups who have bullied and intimidated the professional regulators into such submission . The campaign against antisemitism took up the cudels first. The caa is a creature of the zinis regime. It was set up to attack the propalestine movement with fake antisemitism allegations. Much of its early funding came from the. National fund, the racist land theft group, which is one of the four socalled National Institutions in israel, the uk lawyers for israel is a group which appears to have been set up under the auspices of the Israeli Ministry of foreign affairs, its whole purpose is to use lawfair tactics to manipulate the law and bully british institutions into doing its bidding. The case tells us how foreign agents of the zionist regime can harass, bully and intimidate. Effectively that they can, in effect, occupy the professional bodies regulating the profession of pharmacy. This is what state capture looks like. It also tells us that people can fight back and win. In fact, this is one of a number of recent victories against the Zionist Movements. The tide is turning. Well, congratulations on your historic win, nazim. Mean, it was been a great relief to. To finally resolve this, what can only be described as nightmare . Yeah, yeah, absolutely, seven years long, and um, you know, every point, every part that we won, they would come back, and the interesting thing is chris, um, lot of this didnt cost any of these campaigning organizations, the the the zinest ones any money, apart from the judicial review if i recolect correctly, um, because theyve been pressurizing, you know, the powers that be to to take the. Cases on in this last one, i think its important to know that as they lost, they had to pay the psa has to pay costs, it had 4300 pound of its own costs and 13,000 of the gphcs cost to pay, so thats all come from a government fund, and that is taxpayers money, 56,000 pound just to get me struck off, which they fail to do, which makes no sense when the gphc committee, fitness and Practice Committee have been well within the. Rights to find the determination that they found um and they found me that a warning was ample enough, so questions need to be asked really what made the psa take this back to the high court at expense of the taxpayers money, no indeed, questions certainly do need to be us, but i mean david, i mean what do you make of of of nazims case, i mean seems absolutely crazy doesnt it, you have to go through what four different processes, numerous different processes actually involving seven in fact separate organizations between. Between the zionist, police, the courts and and the regulators, i mean, whats that tell us about the nature of of the zionist lobby . Well, it tells you that they intend to intimidate, bully and harass any organization that gets in their way, and they intend to be able to occupy those organizations, so thats its been saying, these were organizations which did it off their own, but the designs didnt even have to lift finger in some some cases, because the organizations took each other to court and fought like rats in the. Back to to to more effectively implement the zionist uh the zionist organizations wishes, so what we have is is not just an occupation of these regulatory bodies, the regulator of pharmacists and the regulator of the regulator of pharmacists, not just occupied but effectively captured by the state of israel and and doing the bidding of the state of a state of israel which is currently engaged in a genocide, this is no way to run any kind of democracy and it shows the way in which theyve. Foreign power, which is israel, is able to actually get inside regulatory bodies and to turn them against the purposes the intended to be there for. Its kind of unbelievable vindictiveness, isnt it . Ing, it really is, but nazim, mean how was this long and and drawn out battle affected you personally and and and of course professionally as well . Quite badly, if im honest, you know, youre not used to seeing your face on the center spread of the jewish chronic. Called front page being called a preacher of hate um terms like islam is being used and they do it deliberately so all the way from the rightwing press in the uk to the rightwing press in america and and in israel itself so if anyone was going to work with me and google my name as which people do these days all this stuff comes up so its all planned its all done in a very methodical way the way they release the news it first comes in the more zionist press and then it comes in the Mainstream Press two three weeks later it follows a set pattern and of course it affects your mental health, it affects your wellbeing, it affects your relationships, it affects everything and your place at work just to give you a side thing on that, theyre funny enough what i work, they they contacted. Every uh nonbrown named person individual um back in 2017 saying you worked for an antisemite, how do you feel about it, but they didnt contact anyone with a brown sounding name, which shows uh where theyre coming from really, but yeah it really does take it out of you, but thanks to friends, thanks to supports, thanks to people like yourselves, weve gone through what you guys have gone through, you know, and that energy helps to stand up and fight the fight, which we have to do collectively, well. You know the old maxim unity of strength is absolutely uppersite here and is so important and i know from personal experience how how crucial that is actually that that kind of solidarity from grassroots supporters, so i can certainly relate to that and im pleased that that you felt that that was something that that helped you through what must have been absolutely appalling ordeal, but david, i mean, what do you make of the committees judgment then that um, i mean they said that they they could discern no reasonable. Or persuasive connection between zionists and grenfall that you know the Jewish Chronicle headline had there and uh and this the remark must be antisemitic. Well i mean first of all the idea that a committee can decide whether something is antisemitic on the basis that they cant see what the the connection with the Zionist Movement is is completely observed they need to get out a bit more and to do some more research but of course what are the connections between greenful and the zionist one that ministers in the government are all sionist the conservative friends of israel the members of that organization, but more importantly, arconic, which is the company which provided the cladding, its top shareholder is an Organization Called uh elliot management run by guy called paul singer, hes the top doner to the friends of the Israel Defense forces, one, one connection, two connections, arc is an organization which which is is a Construction Company which also is engaged in constructing f35 fighters which have being sent to israel to bomb palestinian children, two connections, its not my fault, its not its not an else his fault that they cant perceive this, but there is a connection between grenfall and the zionis and we can we can point this out with many, many other examples, so and and we should be not, we should not be be scared of saying that, its not antisemitic to say it, there are connections between the zionis and all sorts of appoling things which going on in the uk, including grenfall, one think about the zinits, they never let the facts get in the way of a good old fashion smear do they, well thats right, mean as everyone has now been saying, they lie and they lie and they lie, and thats thats the way, yeah indeed. Well nisim, as as far as im aware, theres been absolutely no Media Coverage of your historic win. I mean, why is that do you think . Well, its almost theyve got custard pie in their face, havent they . Seven years, seven years of chasing me, left, right and center, going through the courts, the various bodies, seven different organizations you mentioned, theyve got nothing to show for it at the end, apart from what was determined back in you, 2020, a warning, um, so its been um, like i said, taxpayers money a waste of time and its shown how vindictive theyve been towards me uh like i said you know financially its been a big burden on me emotionally healthwise it has been as well and it just shows the nastiness of them of designist movement how vindictive nasty and pretty much evil they are that um they just used everything they could that actually didnt affect them financially as david made a great point there they got people to inter fight on the. Behalf which is you know amazing, but who wants to admit failure . Um, and thats what they would have to do, admit failure, because they were all go, but yeah, were going to get him struck off, were going to get him struck off, yeah, yeah, no, indeed, i mean, uh, well, as i say, i mean, youre through it now, thank goodness, and uh, youve prevailed, and um, and thankfully, as we were saying, you got that grassroots, support and solidarity to to help you through, what must be the terrible ordeal, and youve won, and. I think everybody will be all right thinking people anyway will be absolutely delighted that that you have got through it and youve got through it relatively on the skate not withstanding what youve already said but uh youre here and you stand victorious so you know congratulations again on that nazim but uh unfortunately thats all we got time for today so thanks for watching and and thank you to our guest nazim ali and of course our residence expert professor david miller remember you can follow the show on facebook, twitter and telegram where we post regular clips and updates you can also help us to counteract the disinformation pedaled by the Corporate Media about palestine and the resistance of the designist entity by showing todays program on your social media platforms.
